Facetime with Google Chat

On GMail you have the capability to open a video chat while in a chat with someone online. I know that facetime operates off the same principal of contacting you through your e-mail address and I was wondering if it was possible to use facetime (or some other application I am not aware of) to utilize google chats video capabilities. I know you can download a "facetime app" for macbook or PC, but I would like to be able to initiate a video chat via my iPad with people who are using Gmail chat.

Built in iSight not working with Google chat?

Hi all,
I recently updgraded to Mac OS X version 10.7.2 for my Intel based iMac. Since then, the built in iSight camera does not work with Google Chat. It does work with iChat and Photobooth though.
I reistalled the Google chat plug in (or I guess I installed it again). I ran a check, and my software updates are current. I tried the power down, unplug the power cord, wait 15 seconds routine, and that didn't work either.
When I go in to Mail Settings in gmail, click Chat, and then Verify your Settings, I don't see anything in the window next to it - just black.
Does anyone have any good ideas to help? Using google chat is just a lot more convenient for me than using iChat...
Thanks!

Hi,
For some time now the Google Web Browser Video Chat plug-in (Also and automatic part of Installing Chrome) has been an issue in relation to going to Video Chat sites that use the Flash Plug-in.
My Flash Plug-in in Lion is version 11.1 r102
I don't have the Google one so I could not tell you the latest from them.
I am not sure that Google are moving very fast, if at all on this matter.
It could be as soon as either Flash makes an update it ruins the progress Google have made.

Need help with Google Chat

Hi,
These questions might be really simple because I think I'm one of the only people in the UK that's never used an IM before. I thought that as my phone (Palm Pre) could do instant messaging I'd have a go at it. I already had a google mail account (set up to sync my calendars) so thought it'd be easiest to use google chat. However, I seem to only be able to chat with people I've invited or who have invited me to to be their firends, but I can't work out how to do this on the phone.
Yesterday my husband used his phone (HTC desire) to invite me to be his friend on google chat but I couldn't see the invite on my phone. I had to log into my google account on my PC and accept the invitation before we could chat. I also can't see how I invite other people via my phone. I tried logging onto my google account using my phone's browser, but it didn't seem to display the bit where you type the name to invite people.
My other question is probably even more basic. If I have friends on MSN or other messenger services can I contat them using my googlechat service on my phone, or do I have to set up an account for each different messaging service.
Thanks to anyone who can help on this.
P.S. Please don't let my husbands phone be better at this than mine or I'll never hear the end of it :-)

Video camera does not work firefox 8.0.1 with google chat

I have a macbook pro os x 10.7.2 . I have the latest google video plugins ....also I removed and tried reinstalling the plugin for video chat. I have a built in camera. So when I go to google/mail settings, and check my settings, I cant see myself in the video box. If I video chat with someone else, they can see me, but I cant see myself.
If I use Safari or google crome for my browser, google video chat works great. I can see myself and see the person I am video chatting with.
So, I think it's a problem with the Firefox browser. I am using 8.0.1
thanks
Walt

You can [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox?s=uninstall+firefox&r=0&as=s uninstall] Firefox 8 first before you downgrade to Firefox 7. However, when you uninstall, make sure that you '''don't''' choose the option "'''Remove my Firefox Personal Data'''".
You can access a list of [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Previous Versions of Firefox], however, note that Firefox recommends using the latest version since older version may have security and safety vulnerabilities.
'''P.S:''' it may be a good idea to create a Restore Point before you uninstall, in case you mess up, in which case you can just restore and start over.

Voice chat with psi -- Google chat

Hello all,
I have been trying to find a linux IM app that can use voice chat with Google Talk. As far as I can tell, psi is supposed to support this.
I tried version 0.11 from pacman, which connects and everything but there does not seem to be any voice chat.
I used the AUR package and compiled the latest svn version, 0.12rc3 and it works ok, but I still can't find anything within the program to do with voice chatting.
I have been all over the psi wiki etc., and it all seems to suggest that voice chat is included and is working with google chat, but I sure can't find it. Some info dates back to late 2005 with the libjingle branch, but I believe libjingle is now in the main program.
Can someone tell me if voice chat is included in psi, and if so maybe a hint on what might be going wrong for me.
Cheers,
Wittfella

I have been banging my head agaist this and am slowly getting somewhere now...
Psi does come with jingle, but its not enabled by default, because its still deemed 'experimental'.
To get the psi-svn AUR package to compile with voice chat support you have to do a number of things:
1. Use the 'configure-jingle' with '--enable-jingle' option instead of the regular 'configure' script.
./configure-jingle --prefix=/usr --enable-jingle
You can either modify the PKGBUILD or do it all manually.
2. You have to have a specific version of ortp installed otherwise it will not compile. This happens to be ortp-0.7.1 but our pacman version is up to 0.14.0 or so. Luckily you can find the sources for ortp-0.7.1 and it compiles and installs fine.
3. Now the biggest problem. When you try to compile you will get gazillions of errors. It turns out they are quite simple, and are caused by the incompatability problem with gcc-4.3. Most of the errors are solved by opening the offending header file and inserting.
#include <cstring>
So after all that, the good news is I have managed to create a working copy of psi with voice support, however:-
psi <--> google talk connects but there is no audio from either end
psi <--> psi voice chat seems to work fine
If anyone is interested I created packages for psi and ortp. Let me know if you have any more success with google talk.
psi-jingle-1166-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
ortp-0.7.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Is it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad With the same email address? I Will Google to china next month And i would like to communicate With my kids.

IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

No, this is not possible. It would be like dialing your own phone number. You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad. See the following link which will tell you how to do this. You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

Can I Facetime with another user on a PC with their webcam?

I'm trying to facetime with a friend, but they have a windows comp and a separate webcam. is it possible to do this?

You can't use facetime with a Windows user because they don't make the application for windows. You can still video chat, there are a bunch of options there... AIM, ICQ, Skype, Windows messenger... there are a few more. You can google for another if the ones I listed aren't what you want to use.

Google Chat on Messages March 2015

Hi folks.
Is it true that Google Chat (Google Talk) is now unavailable in Messages? I read somewhere it has all moved to Hangouts and isn't available anymore.
Having moved to a new router, I can't seem to get this going. Anybody know what ports it is using?
Port 2553 using SSL?
Port 2552 non-SSL?
talk.google.com or gmail.com?
Any insight helpful.
Cheers

Hi,
Bonjour (generally) so it shows up in the Finder's Side Bar > Shares needs port 5353.
If you use the Chat/Messages features it uses port 5298 and 5297 (both on UDP and 5298 also on TCP)
AIM accounts (or Apple IDs that can be AIM Screen Names) used to login on port 5190 but now do so on port 443.
If you use File Transfers your need port 5190 on the UDP protocol.
Video, Audio Only chats and Screen Sharing in AIM, Jabber and Bonjour need port 5678 UDP to send the visible invite then port 16402 to send the SIP invite and data (actually it should be port 16393-16402 but it always starts top down).
Jabber needs either port 5222 for NON SSL logins or Port 5223 for SSL ones
iMessages uses port 5223 to check that your Contacts are registered with iMessages.
I am not aware that any part of iCloud uses this port.
This is from Using iChat with a firewall or NAT router - Apple Support And Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall - Apple Support
You list iCloud as needing port 5223.
Was this for FaceTime, iMessages and this Google ID in Messages ?

Mountain Lion changes my google chat icon / avatar

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and regularly, after a few days of use, I notice that my Google chat icon / image / avatar is being changed to an image that I have on my local machine, that I once had as my login avatar, but have not used now for over 8 years!
It seems that Mountain Lion is telling Google's chat (but not Google+, or facebook) to use this image as my avatar for google chat, even though I am not explicitly telling it to, AND both my contacts and login profile images (System Preferences -> Users & Groups) on my mac are set to the correct image I want.
Originially, my avatar was an animated gif, but I'm trying to replace that everywhere with a standard gif just in case that's the problem, but it doesn't seem to be helping!
Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up?? The picture is not my current login or contacts pictures...
I did look at this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19272677#19272677 but changing my contacts image, even to a standard jpg/gif, did not help.
Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up??

Ok... I figured it out on my own...
Messages will regularly (~1 hour I think) change all the avatar/profile images it can for all the various jabber, AIM, etc (including gchat, since it's jabber protocol). I thought it was changing it to my Address book or "contacts" profile, or my login images, but these are independent of the one Messages was using (atleast for me). Here's how I fixed this for me:
Go to Mac OS Menu Bar (when focussed in Messages):
Messages -> Change My Picture...
Then drag an image you want to use into one of the "recents" tab, use the "other" tab, or take a picture of yourself using the web cam. Once you've selected a photo, you can crop it within the image window, or leave it alone. When you're ready, just click "done" button.
That's seeming to fix this PITA for me... why Apple decided my Mac's account image, Contacts profile, and Messages avatar image should all be different... beats me.

My househoulse is full of Apple products. We have Ipad, Ipod, and Iphone, but they are all registered under same email. Therefore, we can not facetime with each other. Does anyone know how I could change this?

How do I facetime with the same email address on the Apple product?

The iphone identification should be its phone number, for other devices, such as ipad, ipod, imac you must generate a new e-mail address for each. You can do this by using Yahoo mail, google mail, or perhaps the e-mail system that your internet service provider offers. The point is, each unit needs its own id.

No Video With Google Talk on Droid 3

Just got my wife the new Droid 3 that's running Android 2.3.4. This is the version of Android that is supposed to support video with Google Talk. Tried starting Talk and only thing I can do is messaging with Talk. No video option like on my Thrive tablet.
What's the Deal Google?Verizon/Motorola?

I know how software works and how companies have a habit of delivering products before they are ready, i.e. "get the device approved for software that is loaded on a device".
Based on what I found on the Motorola frequently asked questions page, see below, It appears that Motorola tried but right now it's in Google's & Verizon's court. Because of Google's urge to keep their products a step ahead of their competitors, I'd be surprised if it was them holding up approval.
Google Talk video chat
DROID 3 by Motorola will not support Google Talk videochat at the time of market launch. We are excited about the potential of videochat to enrich the Motorola smartphone experience, and we are working actively with Google and Verizon Wireless to enable this feature as soon as possible.
While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Application like "Tango". You can search the Android Market for 3rd party applications that are available that will enable you to video chat.
